Genuinely judging the content of a person's thought based on the packaging it was delivered in is asinine. Intelligent people frequently speak/write poorly and morons might spell perfectly and know the ins and outs of who and whom but you wouldn't want to talk to them at cocktail parties. But I have to admit I can find it difficult to believe someone who claims to be in charge of this or a master of that when his or her writing is full of bad spelling and poor word usage. And of course making fun of someone you don't care for because he pronounced a word the same way a majority of Americans would is great fun.
